Activity
as promised bit love for the public headers, please review this long cleanup patch. I will appreciate quick review as these kind of patches tend to be very hard to rebase.
Related: ICU-13794, which has some suggestions for changes to the number_* file macro wrappers.
Hello , thank you for filing this ticket and for the PR as well.
Based on discussion with other ICU-TC members, the only accepted changes to the public headers would be for guarding C++ using the macro C_SHOW_CPLUSPLUS_API, the changes to the hdrtst, and the trailing white-space fixes.
The opinion of other TC members was that the additional clean-up changes in PR#638 cause too much churn and shouldn't be done at this time.
I’m going to update the title of the ticket to denote that this is just about guarding the C++ headers with the C_SHOW_CPLUSPLUS_API macro, and the hdrtest changes.
